Folks,
what type of black paint is used for the master cylinders for a Pantah? Front & rear?
I've got a rear M/C that needs repainting and I can't remember what I previously used. I think it is a satin finish. But I can't remember the type (heat resistance)? The rear master cylinder must have leaked because it has blistered the paint. I re-built it 10 years ago.
Please advise.
Cheers,
Steve

Everybody,
so if the master cylinders are anodized, do the pressed in bushes on the rear master cylinder lever need to be removed prior to the anodizing process? The lever is the part linking the master cylinder and the foot lever link rod.
And, we are talking master cylinders NOT calipers, correct?

Panta, depends on what the bush is made of and if you want it anodized or not. The anodizing will not affect function as it is a very thin coating. For the most part you want items to be stripped down to lowest common denominator before sending out for plating. This is true for calipers as well. Hope this helps, Jordan
